Penny Pingleton : Seaweed? Shhh, don't let her hear you!
Seaweed : What happened to you?

Tracy Turnblad : [interrupts] This is just so afro-tastic!

Link Larkin : Uh... well, would it be safe, you know... for us?
Seaweed : Calm down, cracker boy, it's cool.
Penny Pingleton : Wow! Being invited places by colored people!
Tracy Turnblad : It feels so hip!
Seaweed : I'm glad y'all feel that way, 'cause, uh, not many people do.
